A FUNNY JOKE
That Has Put Party Behind the
Bars.
From the Augusta(Ga.) Cbronicle.

From the augusta (Gd.) CbroIticie.
Mr. T. II. Wannamaker, travelling man,
representinga Charleston house, went down
to police headquarters Wednesday night,
and left description Of d fellow-druInmer
who, he claimed, had stolen his satchel,
together with a description of the party.
He said that he and his fellow-traveler,
whose name was j. A. Munich, representing,
he claimed, a Louisville, KY, house, LETT
Warrenton to go to Norwood on business,
and when he returned to his hotel, Munich
and a satchel belonging to Wannamaker
had disappeared. He put in complaint
here before the police authorities OF rob
berry, for he had reason to believe that
Munich had como to Augusta.
After some little search Munich was dis
covered by the close description that had
been given of him, and arrested on Broad
street He was stopping at the Columbia
House, where he had, without any explain
able reason, given the name of Brecken-
ridge when asked to register, which he
failed to do. The missing valise or satchel
could not be found in the room he occupied
Wednesday night. Then a strange feature
of the case Observation-Disclosures could
not be found or heard from. He had left
the Planters Hotel without any address or
hint as TO where he was going, and dis
patches to all points failed to reveal his
whereabouts. A message had in the mean
time been sent to Munchs house in Louis
vile, and the answer came back, mo such
firm" Muach, who had stormed and swore
on being arrested, and then, when told the
nature of the charges against him,
laughlngly pronounced it joke,
explained the inability of the Louis
vile telegraph office to find his firm, saying
1--WE are three miles out of town." Wan
namaker and Munich would hardly play
jokes on each other, as they met for the
first time in Warrenton Tuesday or Wednes-
day, and men rarely ever presume to such
length on so short an acquaintance. Should
Wannamaker fail to reveal his whereabouts
or let the authorities hear from him, Munich
can hardly be detained any length OF time
in jail, where he now is. The case as it
stood last night was, to say the least, pc
culiar one. Munich is a man of extreme
respectability in appearance, and it is hard
to believe the charge against him. If it
were only joke the relish of both gentle
men for another such venture will be spoiled
for similar experience.

Too Cheap.

In recent issue it was stated that the
cost of the system of sewerage for Pensa-
cola, as planned by George E. Warning, Jr.,
of the firm of Warning, Chapman & Farqu-
har, sanitary engineers, which comprehends
the whole city, is estimated to be S5,57S. 10.
This amount should have been SS5, 578. 10,
for about seventy per cent of the city, and
this correction is made because the munich
pal authorities at Pensacola are being over
run with inquiries from other cities about
Pensacola's alleged cheap system.

THE GAzETTE. FORT WORTH TEXAS. WEDNESDAY, MAY IS.

hebetude or moral obliquity renders them
hopelessly incorrigible. These society
should throw aside as chat. The great
majority of younger criminals at least,
may be taught wholesome respect for
law and method by which they can earn
an honest living when freedom is granted
them. The system of indefinite SEN
fences, in some form or other, first advo-
Gated by Mr.. Frederick Hill of England,
is finding its way into most of the civil
lied countries. Already we find it in
England and Wales, in the Bahamas,
in the Fiji Islands, in Labuan, China, and
in the United States of Colombia. The
mark system renders definite an lndefi-
mite sentence by enabling the condemned
to curtsil the period of his in
generation by his own efforts,
by industry, diligence, good behavior
and progress in learning. 1t establishes in
miniature form, system of free govern
ment around him patterned after the
great world without, where his efforts
bring their rewards and his dereliction its
own punishment. This is true reform,
not revenge. OF the multitude sent to
these reformatories it is estimated that
1915 per cent. are unable to earn living,
having no trade and no experience in
laboring work. Of course these people
will not starye. True reform, therefore,
should not content itself with making
them penitent, fos, no matter how desira-
BILE and salutary this may be, it is easily
counterfeited. 1t should teach prisoners
the moral responsibilities resting upon
each, the necessity of labor and the re-
wards of industry. Thus, by the mere
force of association, young men who
otherwise would end their lives as wrecks,
tossed upon the waste waters of dissOlu
ton, may be reclaimed, strengthened and
sent on an errand of usefulness. Texas
should adopt this system; Not alone
should she have a refOrmstOry for juve-
nile offenders, isolated and apart from
all other prisons, but she should have
reforma tory for adult convicts. One of
the penitentiaries now in use and over
crowding could, with very little expense,
be converted into reform school. In
this way the unfortunate victims of
pernicious training, of wayWardness and,
very often, of pure misfortune, would
have an opportunity to return to their
forfeited places in the world, not COVER
ing and apashed by sense of their degra-
dalton, but exulting and grateful in The
knowledge that they have been redeemed
by the humanity of society.

Canonchet, is once more revived by the an
nouncement that Willie Sprague had ap-
piled for divorce from his wife. Master
Willie, while mere youth, married the
sister Of Mrs. Kate. Chase Sprague. He
therefore occupied the anomalous posi-
tion of being his own uncle by marriage,
his step-mother's brother-in-law, his faith
er's brother-in-law, and his step-mother's
nephew. The application for divorce is
based on the grounds that Mrs. Sprague,
Jr., is too fond of bathing, and toe eco
nomical in the matter of amplitude In
bathing apparel. Willie also claims that
he was too young when he entered matri-
mony and, in fact,-didn't know it was
loaded.

TEXAS HAS 4 BOOM.
Which the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texat
Road Will Help.

Road Will Help.
New York Times, May a. 4
Colonel ]. G. Reiff returned yesterday
to this city from Texas, where he has
been spending the past fortnight upon
concerns OF the st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas Railroad Company, of which he has
Just been elected a director. He explains
something of that company's new plans
which promise to have an important in
1uence upon the development of the
southwest. Over 800 miles of new road
are to be built by his company forthwith.
The Kansas and Gulf Short Line Road
has been acquired by purchase, and
four important branch lines are projected,
the money now being in hand to pay for
construction. One branch will start
from the main line north of Pine Bluff
and 60 to Little Rock; another will leave
the main line near TeXarkana and 60 to
Shreveport; third will run from point
on the Sherman branch to Dallas and
Fort Worth, and the fourth will run from
the main line connecting COrsicana and
Hillsboro. All the new lines lie
through territory that will provide large
local traffic, while many important trade
centers will be given connection with ter
ritory from which they are now shut out.
Colonel Reiff found at Rusk, on the
Kansas and Gulf Short Line, that the
manufacture of pig iron was going on as q
fiourishing industry, brown hematite and
other iron ores of high quality abounding
there, easy of access, while limestone
practically pure, is close at hand. The
ore turns out charcoal pig of such fine
quality that experts have declared that
Bessemer steel may be made on the spot
without difficulty Timber crowds thou
sands Of acres Of land, oil is in linn
itless quantity, and, of course, real
estate speculation is under full
sway. The Alabama boom booms
in Texas with all the, Alabama ardor
Colonel Reif predicts that the SOC
miles of new road projected will be in
operation within the next twelve months
probably by the end of this year. The
| interest of Texans in the development OF
their state, the enthusiasm Of
each towns people for theil
own particular community, was H.
Illustrated by the fact that Colonel Reif
and the other visiting directors Of the
company were called upon formally by
delegations from seventy-two towns,
each anxious to have their OWN town
reached by branch line. "One thing
found on every lip" said Colonel Reiff,
and that was this: Save Us from Jay
Gould!''

IN recent sermon during his canoni-
cal visitation, Archbishop Corrigan took
occasion to refer to Henry Georges land
theory. He argued that land was prop
erly subject of private ownership, and
unlike air and water, was something
real and tangible. He alluded to the i'm
possibility of any man securing proprie-
tary rights in air or water, and dilated
upon the absurdity of putting land in the
same category. The sermon will doubt
less call forth six column paragraph
from Mr.. George, and d brief reply four
hours long from DR.. McGlynn. The
Archbishop seems to have the best of the
argument.

BOULANGER WATCHED.

General Boulanger is being closely
watched by the German government, and
his movements will be met by counter
movements at every turn. In October he
proposes to mobilize the French army for
the qualification of witnessing how the
boys will deport themselves, ostensibly.
The German government believes that the
real object is to assall that nation, and
the German army will also be modified
and put in readiness to meet any attack.
Boulanger has inspired his soldiers with
new zeal and courage; he has awakened
in them the spirit of martial valor and
inspired them with an ambition to re-
trieve the losses of France and re- estab-
lish her national glory. tits not improb-
able that this desire to try the chances Of
war with the Germans has reached q
point where even General Boulanger will
find it beyond his power to control.
While war may break out at any time,
the month of October will be particularly
perilous, and will be watched by all na-
tions with great solicitude.
